Their TR-004 does RAID on its own so drives cannot be combined with internal ones. In this case it's not possible to achieve RAID6.

https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/fa...-comes-up-

2 more bays here costs $110 extra while TR-004 is priced at $175.

Just wondering if there's any chance to get it at $520 (last year). Or maybe b&h / Adorama will get some deals, currently they only match $440 for TS-453D.

I literally unboxed this from Amazon last night having paid $688. Currently in a chat now to try get an adjustment - they are not budging. I'll likely have to return it and rebuy from NewEgg.

QNAP claims you can only go to 8GB, but experts have gotten 32GB (2*16GB) to be detected. Not all RAM sticks can be detected so do your homework first. Feel free to post a deal for 2*16GB DDR4 if you find one.

This unit officially supports up to 8GB of ram, but I have 32gb installed in mine. Works great.

I don't remember, however, seeing more than 40% of memory utilization even with Virtualization Station, Container Station, Surveillance Station and many other apps running at the same time, so 16GB should be sufficient as well.

_______________

The above is just me trying to decide between those units. Already have a DS920+ and looking for a 2nd unit. This time would like a unit with more than 4 bays that being the main reason I have not pulled the triggered yet on the DS920+.

This QNAP seems like a better more future proof investment, with 2.5GbE, and expation bay that could be possible be used for 10GbE, no embedded memory ie if a module fails is an easy fix, has HDMI. On the other hand it doesn't have something equivalent to SHR which means upgrading storage might be more complicated or involve a higher investment. Doesn't have M.2 NVME support which is not a deal breaker.

I like Synology but on paper this QNAP unit looks like a better choice. Will hold to see if an 8 bay deal comes up. Hopefully also a model that has EEC memory.

What is rTorrentPro and how do we get it? I'm currently using the 453 model.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a good upgrade from the 453be or should I just have 2 nas systems on my network?

Seems qnap is only having specials on the dying models. The j series processor is trash and everyone is slowly getting away from it because it had transcode issues.

I cannot elaborate on this forum, obviously, but look for google rTorrent Pro and it's the top link. That's the store page, within there, there's a 'Read more about rTorrent-Pro' link which is more in depth information.

It does just fine with 1080p transcoding, 4k it struggles. Direct Play which almost everyone uses is perfectly fine. I've had 4 streams going on within my household at once with no issue.
